Our Focus
Our programmes provide expecting parents, families with infants and our youngest children with education, support and care that improve life outcomes for children. We focus on the first five years, from pregnancy and throughout the child’s early years. To ensure that we make the biggest impact for the greatest number of children and families, we pay close attention to parent-infant relationships, with a specialised parent-infant relationship team working closely with families.
Nurture Families works closely with pregnant women, providing coaching during pregnancy, birth and the first few weeks of life. Our practitioners help:
- Develop healthy antenatal routines
- Prepare for pregnancy, labour and delivery
- Establish strong attachments between you and your baby
Once your baby is born our practitioners will visit you at home or in the community, with continued support on early parenting to age two.
- Ask the right questions - what do you need help with right now?
- Tune into your child's development and relationships
- Ensure that you are connected to resources and supports that you need
This foundation provides a safe and nurturing space for you and your child, with access to community resources throughout.
In addition to pregnancy support and home visits, Nurture Families provides the following supports to families:
- Parent-infant therapeutic help
- Parent-infant groups that support parent-infant attunement
- Postnatal support group
- Community events to socialise and interact with other children and parents
Our group support is for mothers and fathers, including a Dads support group.
We work with children from conception to age two, and their families. Women must be pregnant, and can be at any stage of pregnancy to join the pregnancy support programme.
Quality Early Education and Care
Quality early education and care provide a safe and nurturing environment where children can play and learn. Our team work closely with families, empowering them with the resources needed to support their child’s learning. Our early years settings are based in Worcestsershire, providing early education and care for children aged 9 months to 5 years old.
